Refs who are already on the up, such as Jarrod Gillett and Madley, tend to manage games in a completely different way from the run of the mill league 2 guys.
A lot of the ones I’ve seen in league 2 tend to concentrate on the wrong things (throws from the right place, wanting to stop the game all the time,) generally wanting to impose themselves, but not really knowing how to. The need to impose themselves includes taking every decision themselves, and not using the liners as assistant refs.
They seem to ref for the assessor, rather than just concentrate on letting the players play.
Maybe it’s down to the way they are managed…
